Fenix PD36R V2.0 is an improved version of the compact model, successfully combining the functions of a tactical and everyday carry (EDC) flashlight. A powerful 1700-lumen light output and a 396 m range let it maintain the performance of the original model while significantly increasing throw thanks to improved optics. The impressive light output, range, high-capacity battery, and fast charging will appeal to both officers and civilian users looking for reliable working tools.
The Fenix PD36R V2.0 tactical flashlight offers the user:
- A powerful Luminus LED with 6 modes and up to 1700 lumens maximum light output
- A large head that effectively dissipates the heat generated by the LED
- Two buttons for convenient flashlight control when held in the "hammer" grip
- Five brightness levels and an effective blinding strobe mode
- A compact shape and a removable clip that makes everyday carry much easier
- An optical system that ensures a far-reaching beam of light
- An anodized 6063 aluminum body with high durability
- A high-capacity and highly efficient 21700-type battery
- Charging via USB-C connector with excellent performance
The Fenix PD36R V2.0 body is made of aviation-grade aluminum, treated with HA-III hard-anodizing, so the flashlight's tube and head resist scratches, wear, and corrosion even in the most unfavorable conditions. The textured body and its geometric profile prevent the flashlight from slipping out of the hand and ensure excellent grip. The model also features a reversible steel clip, allowing the flashlight to be attached not only to a bulletproof vest but also to a cap, so the PD36R can also be used as an improvised headlamp.
Fenix PD36R V2.0 LED flashlight - a successful combination of a tactical and EDC model
The light source is the new-generation LUMINUS SST-40 LED, emitting up to 1700 lumens of light output at a distance of up to 396 m. The cool-neutral light color reduces eye strain, ensures more natural color rendering, and greater detail. Due to its tactical purpose, the flashlight uses a smooth SMO reflector, ensuring a concentrated light beam with a strongly illuminated center.
The user can choose from 6 light modes: turbo, high, medium, low, eco, and strobe, thus adjusting the lighting according to need. It is worth noting that the total operating time of the flashlight - taking into account the cooling intervals required for safe operation - in turbo mode with 1700 lumens reaches almost 3 hours. This result is achieved thanks to the combination of a modern, relatively low-current LED and a highly efficient battery.
A powerful flashlight powered by a rechargeable 21700 battery - Fenix
The flashlight is powered by a 21700 type cell with a powerful capacity of up to 5000 mAh! The battery used has twice the capacity of a standard 18650 cell, which naturally means enormous performance and impressive runtime. In addition, thanks to the battery charge indicator (LED on the side switch) and low-voltage warning, we can monitor the flashlight's operation and manage the remaining energy reserve. Each time the flashlight is turned on, the indicator shows the battery status for 3 seconds. The PD36R has a built-in USB-C charging port, allowing very fast charging of the cell. The USB-C port also allows charging the flashlight from a portable power bank, significantly increasing mobility and possibilities. The port is protected from moisture, water, and dust by a rubber plug.
The PD36R has two switches: a main (tail) switch and a side switch for changing modes. The tactical button turns on momentary and constant lighting, and its position allows convenient control when held together with a small firearm. The steel side button is responsible for changing light brightness and activating the strobe. Thanks to the memory function, the last used mode is automatically selected the next time the flashlight is turned on.
The flashlight has several safety systems: reverse polarity protection, low-voltage warning, and "smart protection" against overheating. The high IP68 protection rating ensures the flashlight's resistance to complete submersion in water (30 minutes at a depth of 2 m), dust, dirt, and drops. The Fenix PD36R is a professional tactical flashlight, combining excellent light performance, long operating time, and functionality in one reliable and compact tool.
